This afternoon, = after tuning the piano, I went home, because I'm sick with the flu and a = bronchial condition. At 7 o'clock, the mezzo calls me, and says the low = D on the piano is "funky" and could I come and fix it. I drive to = school, (which is 15 minutes away), and meet with the accompanist. He = says last piece ends with a loud d chord, and the low D continues to = ring on. I play the note, and guess what? The damper stops the note, but = it is the overtones that are continuing to ring, for at least 1.5 = seconds. I tell him there is nothing wrong, and it's supposed to be that = way. He says he has never heard it that loud and that long before on = other pianos. I went over to our other D, and played the same note, with = the same intensity, and had the same result, just to prov! e to him that = they all sound that way.=20 So if there is nothing wrong, and it's supposed to be that way, how do = I explain that there is nothing wrong to an accomplished musician?=20 Wim Univ. of Alabama. I'm going home to bed now. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
